How do I use the Zettle Terminal built-in barcode scanner?

The Zettle by PayPal Terminal comes in two versions, one with a built-in barcode scanner and one without. If you use an external barcode scanner, please read our article about Accessories for more information.

Press the purple button on the right-hand side of your Terminal to activate the scanner. Aim the scanner at a barcode until it beeps and registers the product on the screen.

Use the built-in barcode scanner to:

  • Add products to your library
  • Manage your product inventory
  • Update the stock of multiple products
  • Sell and redeem gift cards
  • It also reads both EAN and QR codes

The barcode scanner on my Terminal isn’t working:

Make sure you’ve turned on the barcode scanner by pressing the purple button on the right-hand side of the Terminal. You should see a light beam on top of the Terminal.
